A Florida man allegedly blew through a stop sign in Paterson on Wednesday night and caused a crash that left one person dead, authorities said.

Alvin Mootoo, 46, of Orlando, drove his Buick through a stop sign at 18th Avenue and East 24th Street at about 9:30 p.m. and hit a Honda Accord, according to the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office. The Buick then collided with a different Accord while Jorge Alberto Pena Mesa stood outside the vehicle speaking to the driver.

Mesa, 31, of Newark was taken to St. Joseph's Regional Medical Center after the crash, where he was pronounced dead.

The drivers of the two Honda Accords were treated for minor injuries.

Mootoo was charged with death by auto within 1,000 feet of school property and strict liability death by auto. Prosecutors filed a motion to detain Mootoo before a potential trial, and that hearing will be held Tuesday. Mootoo is being held at the Passaic County Jail. .
